• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: other hand, when you are nominated that value addition to the electorate will not be there because you are just nominated by a party and the most you can do is to be loyal to that party. The larger womenfolk of this country will not feel any service from you because you will not be answerable to them but your party. Achieving the two-thirds gender rule in the House is not enough. Let the two- thirds be by people who actually have that mandate and will improve the welfare of the gender they are representing. I thought the issue of ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not have issues with the Senate having equal numbers. I think even the American Senate is represented by two Senators. How they relate is how we should be relating because sometimes you may have two Senators from one county but on the opposite side of the House. How will we be coordinating and representing the county, when we are on opposite sides of the House? Those are some challenges we will grow with as we progress. That will make sure that we improve the representation and gender equity. With that, there is always room for ... view

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: The people of Marsabit are very grateful to his late father, Sen. Yusuf Haji. This is because when we went through what we did in 2013, after the first elections under the Kenya Constitution, 2010, it took his intervention and that of the former Speaker, Hon. Francis ole Kaparo, to bring order to the people of Marsabit County, especially Moyale area, where people had gone to the extreme of burning their houses. Some of them even became refugees in the neighbouring country. The election of Sen. Abdulkadir Haji is something unique, especially to the pastoralists of this country. Recently, I ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill which is one of the main functions of this House. I would like to state that on the issue of disbursement of funds to the counties, this Bill is very clear. This is because Clause 5 has always been there and it has always stated that whatever funds are collected, if there is under collection, the share on the county should not be affected. Then Article 219 of the Constitution also states that the national Government must disburse funds to the counties without undue ... view

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: down the line we will be in the same situation that for roads to be constructed and maintained by the counties will deteriorate and we will start now going back to the same issue of how do we maintain roads in the counties while the national Government is maintain the roads under its purview from Class C and above. We need to look at why we are giving these funds to the counties. From now onwards, Kenya Roads Board (KRB) will not be able to oversight that fund because there is no requirement that it has to be used for ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support this Motion as amended. We all know that COVID- 19 is real, and the effects of the third wave are being felt, especially in the identified five counties. We have to assist the President in ensuring that the lives of Kenyans are preserved, and actions are taken. As has been said, the Executive is still performing its duties so as a Legislature, we still have to perform ours to oversight them. In the first wave when we suspended our sittings, things such as the Kenya ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: This time, we need to be vigilant and take the action required by adjourning our sittings but because the Senate works mainly through the committees, we need to suspend the Plenary sittings because that is where the in-person contact is taking place and now concentrate on the oversight role in the committees. That is why I support the view
